Chapter (05) - Risk Assessment & Hazard Analysis

Introduction
The Risk Assessment and Hazard Analysis chapter aims to identify potential risks and hazards associated
with the testing and commissioning activities for the Disabled Toilet Alarm system. By recognizing these
risks, appropriate measures can be implemented to mitigate them and ensure the safety of personnel and the
environment.

Identification of Risks and Hazards

Electrical Hazards:
Risk of electric shock when conducting electrical testing of the Disabled Toilet Alarm system.

Tripping Hazards:
Potential tripping hazards due to cables, equipment, or debris in the testing area.

Fall Hazards:
Risk of falls from ladders or elevated platforms when accessing components of the alarm system.

Chemical Hazards
Exposure to hazardous chemicals or materials used in cleaning or maintenance activities.

Environmental Hazards
Exposure to extreme temperatures, humidity, or other environmental factors during outdoor testing
activities.

Risk Assessment:
Likelihood
a) Evaluate the likelihood of each identified risk occurring during testing and commissioning activities.
b) Consider factors such as frequency of exposure, duration of exposure, and probability of occurrence.

Severity:
a) Assess the potential severity of each risk in terms of its impact on personnel, equipment, and the
environment.
b) Consider factors such as potential for injury, property damage, or environmental contamination.

Risk Rating:
a) Assign a risk rating to each identified risk based on the combination of likelihood and severity
assessments.
b) Prioritize risks based on their risk rating to determine the level of attention and resources required
for mitigation.
